Abstract: Combined recording and scanning device for facsimile transmission in which recording is effected by means of an electrode system which comprises strip-shaped conductors the facing ends of which define a gap and a bore which extend at right angles to the conductors and is formed in a subjacent transparent insulating sheet and beneath which a back-electrode is disposed at a small distance. The scanning member is an electro-optical receiver which is placed on the electrode gap in the direction of the bore axis.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of a polycaprolactam which can be dyed with basic dyes and worked up from the melt to form products such as fibers or foils. The polycaprolactams contain structural elements of the formulae ##SPC1##WhereinM denotes an alkali metal andR denotes an alkylene group containing 4 - 12 carbon atoms.The process of the production of the polycaprolactams comprises precondensing the alkali metal salt of a dialkyl ester of 5-sulphoisophthalic acid in aqueous solution with an excess of hexamethylene diamine and adding caprolactam and an equivalent quantity based on the hexamethylene diamine excess of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid to the resulting aqueous precondensate and polycondensing the mixture.
